Leave your details and we’ll call to discuss the symptoms, system make and the next practical step.
A good installation starts with design
The installer should establish the home’s heat demand, hot-water use, insulation condition, emitters and controls before selecting equipment. A properly sized system and compatible distribution design matter more than choosing a unit by brand alone.
Assessment and grant
SEAI guidance describes technical-assessment or self-declaration steps depending on the home’s age and heat-loss information. Grant applicants should confirm the current requirements and receive any required grant offer before work starts. See SEAI’s installation guide and the heat-pump grant page.
Installation and handover
Agree the equipment, emitter changes, controls, electrical work, commissioning, grant paperwork, warranty and after-sales support in writing. Before the installer leaves, ask for a demonstration of the controls, schedules and normal defrost behaviour, plus the manuals and completed system documents.
Individual contractor or One Stop Shop
An individual grant may suit a standalone heat-pump project. If you are planning a larger home-energy upgrade, an SEAI-registered One Stop Shop can coordinate the assessment, multiple measures and grant process. Compare written scopes and confirm who manages each step.
Common questions
Does a heat pump need new radiators?
Not always. A technical design checks whether existing emitters can provide the room heat at the planned flow temperature.
Can you confirm my grant amount from a callback?
A grant decision depends on SEAI rules and the property. Use SEAI’s current information and obtain formal approval.
How long does installation take?
The timeline depends on surveys, grant approval, equipment, any fabric or radiator work and contractor availability.
Do you install every brand?
Brand and model availability should be confirmed with the appointed installer.
